I really by and large have mostly lost faith that anything short of a miracle will get to where I would like it to be, and the forces working against success here are just hard to even look at

I support the groups that are trying to define a way forward, and I suspect in many, many ways the battle is lost until and unless one of those efforts succeeds well enough to define a better way forward, and there's no way to know what that would look like or if it is even possible.

There are several people doing very good work in this field still and they may get us there either in part or in whole... eventually, dragging everyone kicking and screaming into a better model of development and of thinking. comes to mind as an example.

But as a vision or as a community I don't have much hope unless something dramatic changes.

That makes me sad and I've lost more and more hope the more I've dealt with it or the more I've seen.

Not because, as one person put it, I "don't know social networking software" but because I do understand distributed systems software, protocols, and APIs.

Sure sure, I don't think anything is dying tomorrow, and I do prefer it here to elsewhere, but it doesn't seem to be sustainable.

That just makes me sad every time I go back to hammering out the details in my own projects.

Maybe someone will pull off a miracle, godspeed to those fighting that fight, I hope you prove me wrong.

@jdp23 Yes, but slowly. Reevaluating my approach right now on it and how I want to manage it going forward. Which may be more public and more aggressive or it may be a completely different direction, or it may be just focusing on my own project first and worrying about the compatibility layer later.
